HA HA! I think this is funny after reading everyone's assumptions with how
they think these sets came up, LOL, very funny indeed, but it's nice to know
that they are indeed genuine articles and not some black market do up. What
makes me mad is, YET AGAIN, we are treated as if Australia (and
surroundings) has still not been discovered yet! What are we? Still in the
explorer ages? D'oh! Get me a Service Station would ya!
Mel (who truely thinks that the rest of the world say's: "Oystrayleeeea you
suck, you don't play with Lego, you play with Kangaroo's") Fine I want a
Kangaroo Sculpture! :P
